The Last Days
Richard Bradley
Matthew 24:3-14
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ''Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?''
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: ''Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 ''Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

#1: The return of Israel to Palestine as a nation. This happened 1948. Approximately ½ of all Jews in the world today are currently living in Israel: 6 ½ million. This leaves only about 7 ½ million Jews in the rest of the world. How many more of these have to return before the Lord comes back? We don't know.
#2: Those nations that scattered Israel will be punished and scattered themselves. The map of the world, and ...
